UPDATED: Images of iPhone 4G/iPhone HD turn out to be a knock-off

UDPATE: Engadget initially updated their story on the iPhone G4 (not iPhone 4G!) to include the information below, then removed the update, their editor-in-chief stating on Twitter that a "major update is coming". So, we'll file this under "developing" for now...

ORIGINAL: Those pictures we linked to last night of an iPhone 4G/iPhone HD turn out to be what most of our readers claimed it to be in the comments - just a knock-off.

According to Applesfera, the phone in the pictures never came from Apple or Cupertino at all, but is simply a cheap Chinese clone. One of their readers posted a picture (above) of the same identical phone that they recently purchased in Japan.

So whether you were excited or not so excited, move along as there is nothing to see here.

The removable battery is what gave it away in a heartbeat. I don't have to explain to you guys why that's ridiculously out of the question with an Apple product nowadays. Cheers and I sure hope the new iPhone looks better than that anyway.

Also, I'm still praying the new iPhone looks like that fake pic that popped up an hour before WWDC last year. That phone looked awesome!! You guys remember what I'm talking about? I'm too lazy to google for a pic right now... need more coffee..

@Steve Woz:
He DOES know that.
He clarifies so that idiots do not make comments saying "it's not 4G because LTE isn't in America" or whatever else they would say.
He's not arguing with engadget or trying to prove a petty point, it's done in jest.
You people need to get a life.

I'm starting to find my way in Photography. Since institution that offers photography study is very limited here (in Turkey), I bought books to study it myself. I would like to ask, is it helpful to invest in an online photography study?

I just bought the Apple iPhone 4G 32gb at the cheapest price, though i thought it was a scam and here am i with my iphone 4g, it is so awesome.
Here is my email address to know i bought it... nicholaharb@yahoo.com
